College in the High School

On the first day of school for the teachers I had the pleasure of spending some time with the business department at the high school. During the course of the conversation I learned a little bit about the "dual enrollment" classes that they offer our students. Dual enrollment courses are classes that are taught at Penn-Trafford by our teachers and the students receive college credits for the class. The cost per credit for the classes is minimal as compared to a traditional class. There are many opportunities for our students earn college credits throughout the high school curriculum, but I wanted to share with you the information from the business department. These teachers were very excited by the opportunities that these classes offer our students and are dedicated to providing an outstanding education. I love to experience the passion for learning that these teachers have! A brochure explaining the program can be found here.
